Corn Futures Market News and Commentary

Corn Posts Front Month Losses on Monday

Corn futures rounded out Monday trade, with contracts down fractionally to 5 ½ cents in the nearbys. Deferred new crop contracts were up fractionally to 2 1/4 cents. There were 448 deliveries issued on Friday night. The CmdtyView national average Cash Corn price was down 1 1/2 cents to $4.05 3/4. 

Export Inspections data showed corn shipments at 1.858 MT (73.17 mbu) shipped in the week that ended on February 26. That was down 8% from last week, but still the 3rd largest this year and up 37.41% from the same week last year. Mexico was the top destination of 521,921 MT, with 269,686 MT to South Korea and 221,965 MT to Japan. Marketing year shipments have totaled 39.619 MMT (1.56 mbu), which is up 42.29% yr/yr.

USDA’s Grain Crushing report from NASS showed a total of just 460.95 million bushels of corn used for ethanol production in January, shy of estimates. That was a decline of 1.49% from a year ago and down 4.5% from December’s revised (~5 mbu lower) total.
